Sweet and spicy, with floral and lemon curd flavors that are elegant and delicate, ending with a minty note. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast 91 pts - Steve Heimoff
Actually from Carneros, this is a sweet, apricot- and pineapple-infused wine balanced with crisp acidity. It tastes like it has some botrytis, to judge by the honeyed richness. Notable for its crisp, harmonious balance.

Description:
Only in rare years does the combination of cluster structure, timing and weather result in a favorable outcome for botrytis in its best and purest form. 2005 for us was one of those years. Aromas of tangy honey and pink grapefruit meld into brilliant flavors of rich creamy honey, vanilla and spice. The balanced acidity makes it tangy and clean- impossible to resist another sip.
